Friday, April 19

Friday marks the beginning of the actual Blue-White weekend, and also kicks off the Blue-White carnival and Wing Fest. The Blue-White Carnival is known for its food and especially its wings, in which the various vendors face off in a wing-selling competition. The carnival runs from 4 p.m. until around 10:30 p.m. — make sure to buy carnival tickets to gain access to rides and stands. Wing Fest ends around 8:30, which will be topped off with a fireworks show! Check out the stage area by the carnival to hear various music performers and speakers.

Saturday, April 20

Game Day! Tailgate with any friends and family coming to visit in the spring ball spirit and get ready for the 2013 season the right way — the fields will be packed. If you’re not looking to tailgate (or you have been tailgating and need some nourishment), hit up the carnival going on around the stadium beginning at 2 p.m. For all you early risers out there, snag a chance to meet even more varsity athletes at the expanded autograph session and photo shoot at 8 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. The game starts at noon, so be sure to get around to see everything going on in Happy Valley before heading into the stadium.

Penn State athletics also has a full slate this weekend. Check out the schedule below to see all your spring Nittany Lions sports teams in action at home.
